    Dillon BL550 seating consistency

    Thanks for the response and feedback. As most of us are, I am too anal about consistency.

    Dillon BL550 seating consistency

    Yep. This is what I do as well. Thinking mandrel, funnel, seat.

    Maybe my search words weren’t right. I couldn’t find much on it.

    Dillon BL550 seating consistency

    Does anyone have any feedback on the seating depth consistency when using a Dillon BL550 progressive press? I am in the market for a progressive press. I want to limit my effort. 😂 I have been using a forester coax for years but because it’s single stage, I tend to just skip the mandrel die...

    CZ 457, Tikka T1x, etc.

    I ought to look into this actually. May end up costing about the same. I saw they have .17 specific actions so who knows.

    I noticed that you could convert a CZ 457 in .22 to a .17 HMR buying changing the magazine the barrel. Is that accurate?

    Yep. The aftermarket support on the CZ has me leaning that way.

    Honestly sound like I can’t go wrong with the 457 or the Tikka. 😂

    CZ 457, Tikka T1x, etc.

    I think I will have to do some old testing with 3-4 different HMR lode and stick with what shoots best. You make a good point.

    The threading is important as I plan to run a suppressor. Good point and thanks for the feedback.

    CZ 457, Tikka T1x, etc.

    Thanks for the feedback! How would you compare the accuracy of each? Did one stock barrel stand out over the other?

    Gents, I am planning to sell my Vudoo .22 LR. I purchased it with the intent to shoot some local rimfire matches but I found I don’t have the time/will to make the effort. Instead I found myself wanting to use it for hunting small game in STX. I plan on getting a .17 HMR to replace the .22...

    Mount: Spuhr or ARC M-Brace

    Ended up ordering an M-Brace. Time to try something new. Reviews, durability, price reviews are good so why not? I am normally a TT, ZCO, S&B guy but I got out of my comfort zone and ordered a Vortex Gen 3: 6-36x56. Figured I would stick with a new mount type too.

    Mount: Spuhr or ARC M-Brace

    I didn’t think about the the thickness in front of the turret. Good consideration.

    Mount: Spuhr or ARC M-Brace

    At first this is what I thought too. Again, I am a big Spuhr fan and own more than a few. Supposedly, there were some design changes and heat treat issues causing the clamp and cross bars to crack. That coupled with their high price seems to push people towards other options.

    Mount: Spuhr or ARC M-Brace

    Sad to hear that. I have always had good luck with mine but all were made/purchase over a couple years ago.

    Mount: Spuhr or ARC M-Brace

    I looked at these but at the time they didn’t have a ton of attachment points for red dot mounts and stuff. I should look again.

    Mount: Spuhr or ARC M-Brace

    Well shit, that sounds tedious. Lol. I am really liking the M-brace.

    Mount: Spuhr or ARC M-Brace

    I am seeing a lot of people complaining about Spuhr design and quality changes lately. Should I consider buying something else like an M-Brace? I have like 5-6 Spuhrs that have been great but they are the 6 screw design. Any merit to these complainers?
